South from Main/Wentworth, East on Delaware, south on Fairleigh Crescent. Property on the right. The featured home is rich in character, showcasing original pocket doors, stained glass windows, and oversized trim that speak to its heritage. Offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, 40 Fairleigh also boasts rare parking for up to five vehicles and extensive recent renovations throughout most of the home. Notable updates include a three-year-old furnace and A/C, two beautifully finished bathrooms, refinished hardwood flooring throughout, and a stunning open-concept kitchen centered around an impressive 65 x 53 island. Each enhancement has been completed with care, thoughtfully preserving the home’s original craftsmanship and charm. A recent second-floor addition has transformed the upper level into two exceptionally spacious bedrooms, each large enough to accommodate its own sitting area and both featuring ensuite privileges. The lower level offers a clean, unfinished 760 sq. ft. basement, presenting excellent potential for future customization and additional living space. Turning onto Fairleigh Crescent feels like stepping back in time. Nestled in Hamilton’s highly sought-after St. Clair neighbourhood, this hidden gem is lined with beautifully maintained century homes beneath a canopy of mature, old-growth trees. Among them stands a remarkable Ginkgo tree believed to be over 800 years old covering this thoughtfully landscaped yard with multiple seating areas. Over a century ago, the crescent was intentionally curved, creating a graceful, meandering streetscape that offers far more charm than a traditional grid—and results in a slightly larger lot for this property.
